Latest research says that the cause of harmful problems in a woman’s private part is douching.

Also, it elevates the risk of having ovarian cancer. It is often called as a “silent killer.”

Douching is the squirting waters or fluids in a woman’s private part. Experts claimed that doing this may affect the natural balance of bacteria and may cause infections.

A poll was made by Express.co.uk,

and they were able to find out that in 232 people, 29% of them practice douching regularly. 57% claims that they have never done such thing. 14% admits that they have done it but only once or twice.

Experts also said that a woman’s private part has a mechanism that cleans itself. Experts also indicate that douching can be the cause of having cervical cancer, reduced fertility, yeast infections, pelvic inflammatory disease which is an infection in the uterus, and ectopic pregnancy.

A Professor of epidemiology at the University of California, explained:

“While most doctors and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists strongly recommend that women do not douche. Many women continue to douche because they falsely perceive douching to have positive health benefits, such as increased cleanliness.”
